Summary/Abstract: Far from giving up their distinctive identity and objectives, statesincreasingly use power agreements to create greater control over the economy and security.In itself, these coalitions should be seen as apparent disposals aimed at increasing the state’scapacity in specific areas, and less diminishing their sovereignty. Strengthening suchalliances takes place primarily at the regional level, between nation-states, as is the case withthe European Union.We are currently witnessing some changes in state power. As external pressures forthe homogeneity of economic regimes grow, and large international flows of people andcapital threaten domestic fundamentals, more and more states are looking to improve theircontrol over the external environment. In order to adapt to these challenges, some states areseen as catalytic states, meaning states that tend to be indispensable to targeting certainstrategic coalitions, while remaining independent of other elements of those alliances
